Danbury couple get overdue recognition as the best documentarians By Pamela Brown
Alicia and Renato Ghio are a dynamic duo. The married couple are the creative masterminds behind RmediA, a full-service video production company in Danbury that makes compelling videos to help people communicate their message. Recently, RmediA received the Award of Excellence, the highest honor in the 32nd Annual Communicator Awards, for “William Tong: The American Dream,” a video produced for The New American Dream Foundation (TNADF) gala honoring Connecticut Attorney General William Tong, the first Asian-American elected statewide in Connecticut. The project was recognized in the General Non-Profit Video category among more than 3,000 entries submitted worldwide by agencies, brands, production companies, design firms, and more. “At this time in history, stories of immigrants and their families are more important than ever,” said Renato Ghio. For the Ghios, receiving the Award of Excellence was meaningful. “It confirmed that a story we cared about hit home beyond our client and our community. After more than 25 years, the relationships we’ve built and the trust clients place in us matter most. But having peers in our industry recognize the work at a national level is definitely gratifying,” said Alicia Ghio. Renato Ghio added that they don’t enter many competitions. “So, when we do it’s because we believe we’ve created something special,” Renato Ghio said. Emanuela Palmares, vice president and program director of TNADF, a nonprofit that celebrates, inspires, and supports immigrants and their families across generations, appreciated how the video highlighted a true immigrant experience. “Immigrants always have that doubt,” Palmares said. “I wanted people to see and feel potential. When you watch the video, you feel the struggle of William Tong from the mountaintop to how he sees himself in the kitchen with his family. He was vulnerable in sharing that experience. It’s a powerful video.” Palmares has worked with RmediA for 9 years to bring immigrant stories to life. “I like that they’re hyper-local with a global vision. I knew they cared for our community and our vision,

and would be able to tell stories for our foundation,” Palmares said. “Alicia and Renato are good storytellers because they’re good listeners. They’re curious, and they’re caring, compassionate people who have a way of humanizing emotions.” According to their website, The Communicator Awards recognize excellence, effectiveness and innovation across all areas of communication. The platform provides an equal chance to all entrants regardless of company, organization, or agency size and project budget. The awards are evaluated by the Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts (AIVA), an assembly of more than 1,100 industry leaders from acclaimed brands, institutions and agencies. This year’s Jury included experts from JPMorgan Chase & Co., FedEx, Netflix, Big Spaceship, National Geographic Society, Accenture Song, Critical Mass, NAACP, The Andy Warhol Museum, and others. The William Tong video runs 5 1/2 minutes. “Emotionally it’s honest,” Alicia Ghio said. “The story is deeply personal, but also universal. It’s about family, sacrifice, identity, and opportunity. Those are themes people connect with. “This video highlighted the experiences that shaped Attorney General Tong’s path from the son of immigrants to becoming the first Asian American elected statewide in Connecticut history. His interview is the total narrative, and through a little b-roll, personal family photos, and campaign imagery, we told his story.”
“Alicia and Renato are good storytellers because they’re good listeners. They’re curious, and they’re caring, compassionate people who have a way of humanizing emotions.”
The story of RmediA According to Renato, they are documentarians at heart. “We ask questions, listen, help guide a conversation, but allow people to talk,” Renato Ghio said. Alicia said she writes with other people’s words. “My journalism background taught me to listen first and let the subject tell the story.” In their work, RmediA’s goal is to create stories with a revelatory purpose. “We help people communicate why their work matters,” Alicia Ghio added. “Whether it’s a nonprofit raising money, a business launching a product, or a community organization inspiring volunteers, every project starts with the same question: ‘Why should someone care?’ Pretty pictures get attention, stories create connection – our work does both.” RmediA works locally, regionally, and nationally, creating video campaigns for brands like BIC and the UCONN Huskies. “Maybe closest to our hearts, we work with many local nonprofits like The Center for Empowerment and Education, Danbury Student and Business Connection, Food Rescue US, Avon Theatre, Connecticut Institute for Communities, Community Action Agency. Most recently we produced a video for the City of Danbury 250 gala which meant a lot to us personally.” RmediA was founded in 1999 as a side business; it went full-time in 2001. “We didn’t have investors or a grand business plan,” said Alicia Ghio, former small-town newspaper journalist who worked in technical writing and communications at Western Connecticut State University (WCSU). “We had an equipment loan, a tiny office, a little savings, and a belief that we could create better work by doing things our own way.” At WCSU, Renato Ghio studied video production and worked in the university’s Media Department then became a freelance videographer and also worked for a local video production company. The Ghios believe their different backgrounds are their greatest strengths. “Our skillsets and personalities complement each other. More than 25 years later, we’re still building the business together,” said Renato. “We’re still students of our craft. We never want to become complacent or rely on doing things simply because ‘that’s how we’ve always done it.’ The day we think we’ve mastered this craft is probably the day we should retire.”

Fairfield Police Chief Paris: Flock cameras replaced with Axon equipment By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com
FAIRFIELD – For those residents who have opposed both the Automated Traffic Enforcement Safety Device (ATESD) speed cameras and Flock license plate readers around town, Police Chief Michael Paris may have some good news. No, the speed cameras in the designated six school zones aren’t being taken down. And, no, the license plate readers aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. But the town has discontinued its use of the controversial Flock cameras and license plate readers and replaced them with Axon Outpost equipment. As for the speed cameras operated by Altumint, Chief Paris told RTM members in an informational meeting Monday night that he is open to the town hiring an auditor to check that the vendor properly disposes of the license plate data after citations are issued. “The decision to change vendors was made when I became chief in 2025,” Paris told the Fairfield County Business Journal after Monday’s meeting. “I don’t have the exact date. It was one of the things I wanted to do. I wanted to make sure we were using the software that we were trusting.” He added that Axon made better sense than Flock for the license plate readers, which are used by police as a tool to track down alleged perpetrators involved in local and state crimes. “Two different schools of thought: I wanted to make sure we were using the best technological software that we know is tried and tested,” Chief Paris said. “Axon has been a tried and tested software company that we have been using for years for body cameras and Tasers. So, now it’s all under one system.” Paris also informed the RTM that according to the state Office of the State Traffic Administration (OSTA) all new school zone speed cameras will include signs with blinking lights to inform drivers they are entering such a zone. The RTM informational meeting was held prior to the regular Aug. 24 meeting where the town’s legislative body will take up at least two resolutions concerning the speed cameras. First Selectperson Christine Vitale, who faced a raucous crowd at an informational meeting on the speeding cameras program at Fair-
field Warde High School last month, has asked the RTM to consider a resolution asking for the body to confirm the ATESD plan that was submitted to the state Department of Transportation and its continuation. The second resolution was put forth by RTM members Craig Diamond (District 2); Laura Karson (District 4); Liz Zezima (District 4); Betsy Elrick (District 5); Sharon Pistilli (District 5) and Emma Barron (District 6). It asks that an Ordinance Drafting Committee on ATESDs be approved. Over the first three months of the ATESD program, the Town of Fairfield has issued fines of more than $3.5 million. The Town of Fairfield, which has the authority to actually issue the speeding citations, issued a total of 50,503 tickets. First-time offenders are fined $50 plus a $15 processing fee for a total of $65 per ticket. Repeat offenders are fined $75 plus the same $15 processing fee for a total of $90. Aug. 17 informational meeting Several RTM members raised such topics as data privacy, proper disposal of such license plate data, the appeals time gap for those drivers who lease vehicles and how the revenue raised through the program is to be used.

“In our ordinance and according to our contract, the data is supposed to be eliminated by the vendor after 30 days,” District 9 RTM Member Dru Georgiadis said. “How are we going to make sure the vendor eliminates…deletes all the information it collects within 30 days?” Fairfield Police Capt. Hector Irizarry, who leads Fairfield Traffic Division, explained his understanding of that process. “They only retain the license plate (information),” Irizarry said. “The second subsequent offense within a one-year period requires an additional fine. So, they have to retain the license plate (information). Everything else is disposed of. I don’t know how they do that after the case is adjudicated.” In an answer to a separate, but similar question posed by RTM Member Melissa Longo, Paris said he believes the town should have its own auditor to oversee the destruction of that data after the legal limit. “I would definitely support, if there is not being done an auditor already, an auditor from the Town of Fairfield to make sure that the information is deleted as requested,” he told the RTM. “If the funding is coming from the program, why would we not pay to triple check that we have an auditor from the town saying this has been deleted.” As for the leasing issue, Capt. Irizarry admitted the Town of Fair-

field needs to fix the issue of those people who lease their vehicle should not have to wait longer to receive their ticket because it was sent to the leasing company first. “I received a fine. I’m sure most people in here have,” Georgiadis said. “As my car is leased, by the time I received my fine from the leasing company the time has passed for me to appeal. I just wanted to point that out because that probably needs to be fixed.” First Selectperson Vitale agreed with Irizarry and Paris that communication between owners of leased vehicles should be the same for those who own. They said they would rectify it. A handful of Connecticut municipalities have either discontinued or paused the use of speed cameras and Flock license plate readers as controversy erupts over their accuracy and apparent arbitrary fines in school zones in municipalities where speeders run rampant in non-school zones. Locally, those municipalities include Greenwich and Milford. Regarding the more controversial Flock license plate readers, opponents have celebrated their removal and replacement by the competitor Axon. According to TechTimes, 53 cities have canceled Flock contracts, citing unauthorized federal data access, false alerts, and mass surveillance of innocent drivers.

Historic Danbury church partially collapses; no one injured By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com
Danbury Lighthouse Ministries owners say ‘God has a plan’ for the church going forward DANBURY — A tower in the historic former West Street Congregational Church partially collapsed Thursday evening, according to the Danbury Fire Department. No one was injured. The church, which has a rectory office at 26 West St., has been home to the Danbury Lighthouse Ministries since 1991. The Danbury Fire Dispatch released the following statement on its Facebook page: “At approximately 4:30 p.m. this afternoon (Aug. 13), the Danbury Fire Dispatch Center received a report from a passing motorist of a partial building collapse at 32 West St. Fire units were dispatched to the scene and arrived to find that a large portion of the church structure had collapsed. Fire personnel conducted a search of the affected area, utilizing thermal imaging cameras, and found no signs of entrapment.” The Fire Department added that
Eversource was contacted and responded to the scene to secure the building’s electrical and natural gas services. Building officials and members of the Fire Marshal’s Office were also on scene to assess the structure and conduct an investigation into the collapse. The building owners are working with contractors to secure the area and stabilize the remaining portion of the structure. In January 2025, the church was included in the city’s new Downtown Transit-Oriented District. The Danbury Zoning Commission unanimously approved a comprehensive overhaul that expanded the downtown development zone from 210 acres to 450 acres. This wider net was cast to loop in surrounding commercial blocks — including the West Street corridor — into a unified D-TOD district. The building at 32 West St. originally opened as the West Street Congregational Church, which dedicated its brick building on May 9, 1865. Located at 32 West Street, it became known as the West Street Congregational Church. In 1889, composer Charles Ives, a teenager

at the time, became the church’s organist. The church, which is operated by Dr. Thomas Lounsbury and Rev. Kathie Lounsbury, issued its owns statement on its Facebook page: “This evening, our church experienced a catastrophic event. First, we thank God that in His mercy He ensured that no one was injured. Secondly, we want to thank Mayor Roberto Alves, City of Danbury Police Department, Danbury Fire Department, State Representative Farley Santos, and Danbury City Hall for their kind words and gracious support in the aftermath of this terrible event. “We will be working with our insurance company structural engineers, and other entities to determine appropriate next steps. We are devastated but at peace! God has a plan. We will follow His leading. Lighthousers, now more than ever, we will commit to remaining in our canoe of God’s Word, while steadying ourselves with the dual oars of Worship and Prayer. We’ll see you Sunday at the Parochial House and we will honor The Lord… together!”
Settlement brings 140,000 eggs to Westchester By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
The settlement of price-fixing allegations against companies in the egg business is resulting in 140,000 eggs going to Feeding Westchester for distribution to families that need them. Food banks throughout New York will receive more than 4.9 million eggs.
4
The settlement as a whole provides for 53 million eggs to be delivered to food banks in 17 states that filed complaints against three egg companies alleging years of price fixing. The companies are: Cal-Maine Foods; Versova/Centrum; and Hickman’s Egg Ranch. In addition to the egg deliveries, the companies will pay $3.3 million to the states and make changes to their practices to prevent future violations of the law. “For years, corporate greed pushed egg prices higher for working families throughout New York and the nation,” New York State Attorney General Letitia James said. “My office led an investigation into some of the country’s largest egg producers and shut down an illegal bid-rigging scheme. New Yorkers deserve fair prices at the grocery store, and I thank Feeding Westchester for partnering with our office to help deliver free eggs for those in need.” Kristine Borok, president and CEO

of Feeding Westchester referred to a recent report showing “nearly half of all New York state residents, and 41% of Westchester households struggle to afford food and other basic necessities, often despite working full-time jobs. Feeding Westchester and our 175 partners will ensure these eggs are distributed quickly to where they provide
healthy meals for families that need them most.” Congressman George Latimer, whose New York 16th Congressional district includes parts of Westchester and the Bronx said, “At a time when grocery prices are rising and New Yorkers are struggling to feed their families, companies colluding to raise egg prices

is not only intolerable but illegal. I am grateful to Attorney General James for fighting to prevent illegal coordination and delivering 140,000 eggs to Feeding Westchester to make right on this injustice.” According to Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins, “Every family deserves to be able to put nutritious food on the table without having to choose between groceries and other basic necessities. Turning wrongdoing into assistance for people in need is a powerful example of how accountability can make a real difference in our communities.” The federal Department of Justice was involved with the attorneys general of Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Wisconsin in securing the settlement.

County to buy, refurbish shelter in New Rochelle By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
The Westchester County Board of Legislators has approved issuing $11,100,000 in bonds to finance the purchase and rehabilitation of a homeless shelter in New Rochelle. The property, owned by the Archdiocese of New York through The Church of Saint Gabriel of the City of New Rochelle would be bought by the county for no more than $1,200,000.
Known as the Oasis Emergency Overnight Shelter, the property is located at 19 Washington Ave. in New Rochelle. The land covers approximately 15,246 square feet. The three-story building contains approximately 7,482 square feet and is outfitted with 50 shelter beds. It supports single adult men and women who need emergency overnight shelter. Oasis is about a block away from Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital. The nonprofit organization WestCOP currently operates the facility under a contract with the county. The contract for 2026 covers all services needed to operate an emergency overnight shelter and day program for up to 80 single adults at the 19 Washington Ave. location for an amount not to exceed $1,117,589. Facility rehabilitation is planned to include renovations and upgrades to the living and common areas, including bathrooms and other functional living spaces. The project will also include comprehensive building and site improvements, such as roofing and siding replacement, HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, electrical system
upgrades, structural repairs, and associated site work. Electrical work will include lighting replacement and replacement of the main electrical panel. The county’s Department of Social Services had advised that the facility is needed to serve the steady population of individuals facing homelessness who need immediate shelter. It took the position that the acquisition by the county and improvements to the site would reduce congregation in public spaces of those who would be helped by being relocated to the facility, and will also offer opportunities to address health needs. The Department of Social Services said that there currently is no other facility that offers the same services in the county’s Sound Shore communities. Design work was planned to get underway following the bonding authorization, and was estimated to take nine months to complete. It was anticipated that the design would be completed using both in-house staff and consultants. It is further estimated that construction will take 18 months to complete.

Sale of Ansonia Lodge sets stage for possible development at Yorktown site By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
A 4.6-acre property at 1860 East Main St. in Mohegan Lake where the 1906 Ansonia Lodge is located has been sold for $2.9 million and developer LHC Logistics has presented preliminary plans for a mixeduse development of the property to the Town of Yorktown’s Planning Board. Kenneth Lefkowitz of Houlihan Lawrence Commercial and Nadia van Hauwaert of Houlihan Lawrence Yorktown represented both the seller and buyer in the transaction. According to Yorktown Councilmember Susan Siegel, the front approximately one-acre of the 4.6-acre site is zoned for commercial use, while the rear portion that borders on Mohegan Lake is zoned multifamily. In addition to the Ansonia Lodge, there are two other existing buildings on the property. The preliminary plan calls for a

5,000-square-feet building with access to East Main Street and a new two-story building with 43 rental units on the other section of the land, part of which borders Mohegan Lake itself. A representative of the developer told a work session of the Yorktown Planning Board that they would first develop the commercial building and would hold off development of the residential structure until that building was fully occupied. The second phase of the project would be to build the 43-unit apartment building. The project would include the rehabilitation of the Ansonia Lodge itself, possibly for use as an amenity center that would include a lounge, outdoor patio and movie room. Ansonia Lodge currently contains 17 residential units. The developer said that they want to keep the architecture of the exterior
while restoring and preserving it and also modernize the interior of the lodge. Access to the apartments would be via a new road connecting to Mohegan Avenue. A walking trail around the lake would be open to the public. The developer said that most of the new apartments would not have lake views but residents would have access to the lakefront and lake via the walking trail. The developer would need an easement from the town to build a road, extra parking and the walking trail. The redevelopment plans also contemplate an undetermined number of retail or professional spaces on the commercial portion of the property facing Route 6. Lefkowitz said, “Their vision is not simply to add housing, but to renovate the existing property, significantly improve access to and enjoyment of the lakefront, and create a modern mixed use community that can be an asset to Mohegan Lake for decades to come.”

Stamford’s Bedford Creative Apartments give renters a ‘dual-space one bedroom’ option By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com
The 21-unit complex created by Aivalis Developers made for next generation STAMFORD – Those young residents who either commute to New York City or work in Stamford and its environs have been showered with many types of amenities in their luxury apartment buildings. Whether it’s a rooftop pool with BBQs, a hot tub, cabanas, fitness center or even a movie theater, golf simulator room or pool tables, many of these apartment complexes know what it takes to attract Millennials and Gen Zers. Take 18 Dock. It has an outdoor courtyard that includes a pool, hot tub, cabanas, a fire pit, and golf simulator. Then there is Infinity at Harbor Point. It has the same amenities as 18 Dock, but it also includes a movie theater and resident lounge with a pool table. And don’t forget 121 Towne Apartments, which also has a rooftop pool, fitness center, concierge service and BBQ grill areas. In the Bedford Street area between Forest and Broad streets the Reimagine Bedford Street has started to take shape. In addition to the Latham Park plaza, several restaurants and retail stores are springing up along with 19 trees. If you amble on down to 589 Bedford St., there is a new residential property called Bedford Creative Apartments with a humble 21 studio and one-bedroom units that also has some of the aforementioned amenities. (fitness room, wellness center, roof terrace, EV charging stations). But, its biggest selling point is that it provides what is called “dual-space one bedrooms” that are located across from each of the one-bedroom apartments. Steve Avilas, owner/architect of Aivalis Developers in Stamford and builder of Bedford Creative Apartments, defines those rooms as dedicated detached office suites located across the hallway from the apartment. “We’re allowed 14,000-15,000 square feet of residential space for this building (22,000 square foot),” Aivalis said. “We wanted to do something different. Our concept is a live/work. It started that way. “The biggest maneuver was that since we were unlimited with amen-
ity space and limited with residential space, whatever creative amenities could we make. The best thing was to separate the apartment unit into two segments. We now have an office/ flex space across from the residential space. A single loaded corridor gave us this opportunity to align the other side with some amenity space.” Aivalis and his partner decided to include the dual-space layout because he noticed a trend among apartment dwellers during and after Covid in 2020. “I personally have rented for many years,” he said. “Since 2020 everything started to change. You were spending so much more time in your residence. You were set up working in the kitchen or other space. It was like ‘how could you reinvent your space?’ I had the opportunity with a new building to do that. This is a modern-day issue for renters and for our generation who spends 90% of their time in their complexes.” Having grown up in Stamford, Aivalis decided to stay in the city after graduating from New York Institute of Technology and working with his father Nick Aivalis of Aivalis Architects.

He planted the seed for Bedford Creative during the pandemic. First, they had to get a zone change after they decided on the vacant lot on Bedford Street. “My partner and I were seeking a new project together,” Aivalis said. “This lot was sort of vacant for many years. There was a fire here that burned down the original Victorian (house that was used as an office). Our position was we’re trying to scale up and not be the bigger guys, like the BLTs (Building and Land Technology) the Randy Salvatores (founder of RMS Cos.). This was too small of a lot and too small of a project for them.” Bedford Creative is made up one-bedroom units that include open layouts on three floors. In addition to the residences, there is a fitness room, wellness amenities, a roof terrace, outdoor spaces, outdoor grills and an area for pets. The complex is due to open this week, Aivalis said last month. Rents range from $2,493 to $2,975 per month.
Westfair Business Journal | August 24, 2026
Aivalis’ history In addition to Bedford Creative, Aivalis’ company is responsible for developing 1385 Washington Blvd. (City Estates); five townhomes; and Pacific House, which has a transitional housing facility called Lighthouse. As a young architect just out of college, Steve Aivalis followed in his father’s footsteps. “I loved to draw,” he said. “I (voluntarily) drew up 3D renderings and drawings and sent them to the city (for what become Latham Park plaza.) I said this would look great. Fifteen years later, he said the City of Stamford began working on the Latham Park plaza at 269 Bedford St. that combines a half-acre green space with a 9,500-square-foot pedestrian plaza featuring outdoor dining, new trees, and a raised crosswalk. “I helped facilitate the concept and provided the visuals 15 years ago by donating my time to the city planners office,” he added. “I didn’t design it. But the city took it from there.”

Yonkers seeks to reimagine Central Park Avenue By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
The City of Yonkers has launched an effort to redesign the commercial corridor Central Park Avenue into more than a central artery lined with stores, strip malls and larger shopping centers. The effort known as “Reimagine Central Avenue” was announced Aug. 17 by Mayor Mike Spano as something that is designed to involve community members as well as calling on the expertise of professional planners and consultants. “Central Avenue has been an essential part of Yonkers for generations, and now we have an opportunity to reimagine its future in a way that reflects the evolving needs and aspirations of our community,” Spano said. “Shopping and living
trends are changing nationally and this initiative is about creating a renewed corridor that reflects that, while supporting local businesses and creating new opportunities for residents. Most importantly, this plan must be shaped by the people who live, work and shop here. I encourage Yonkers residents to participate in the upcoming workshops and public hearing, share their ideas and help us build a Central Avenue that will serve our city for generations to come.” Central Park Avenue runs from Tuckahoe Road to the northern boundary of the city, a distance of approximately 2.3 miles. The city’s Planning and Development Department will be leading the effort to reimagine the corridor, with

the participation of four outside organizations: MUD Workshop; Colliers Engineering & Design; KSCJ Consulting; and Moore Iacofano Goltsman, Inc. Metropolitan Urban Design (MUD) Workshop is a design and planning firm that emphasizes its belief that involving the community as well as individual stakeholders is the greatest factor in bringing about positive changes in neighborhoods while ensuring the long-term viability of design and development projects. It lists its expertise as including land use, zoning, design, resiliency planning, and infrastructure. Colliers Engineering & Design is a familiar name in the Westchester’s government and development communities, frequently producing traffic studies for developers to submit to municipalities when they apply for approvals for various projects.
KSCJ Consulting provides land use and environmental planning, civil engineering, landscape architecture, and wetland consulting services to municipal and private clients. KSCJ is expected to assist in the development of an environmental review and any proposed zoning texts. Moore Iacofano Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) has experience with urban strategy, economic development, and planning along corridors and in downtowns nationwide. Yonkers says that the first of three public workshops to work on the Central Avenue plan will be held on Monday, Aug. 31 at 6 p.m. at the Grinton I. Will Library, at 1500 Central Park Ave. Additional workshops are to be scheduled over the next eight to 10 months, culminating in a public hearing on a draft plan for Central Park Avenue in June 2027.
Stagg Group buys development site in Yonkers By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
The site of the former Kimball Theatre at 1219 Yonkers Ave. in Yonkers where a residential development had been approved has been purchased by developer Mark Stagg’s Stagg Group.

The property was acquired by Stagg Group from 1219 Yonkers Avenue LLC, a joint venture of Aubrey Capital LLC and Empire General Contracting Inc. for $9.5 million, according to real estate services firm CBRE. CBRE’s team of William V. Cuddy Jr. and Jacqueline Novotny handled the marketing campaign for the property and represented Aubrey Capital in the negotiations. The entity 1219 Yonkers Avenue LLC had received approvals from Yonkers for a project it called The Kimball Residences. The site plan approval expired in October of 2022 and the developer reapplied and received a new approval. The original proposal called for 266 apartments in a 14-story building together with 1,600 square feet of ground level retail space.
A five-level underground parking garage was to have 278 spaces. The garage was to be located below the building and have two access points, one from Bronx River Road and the other from Crescent Place. The entry lobby for residents was to connect directly with Yonkers Avenue. The main lobby was to include a resident lounge, fitness and recreational center, small business center, and building services. There also were to be apartments on the lobby level. The Kimball Theatre originally opened in 1937 and had 700 seats. It was created at a cost of more than $100,000 in a building that formerly held a shirt factory, movie studio and skating rink. The opening night program included the feature films “That Girl From Paris” starring Lily Pons and Gene Raymond and “Wanted, Jane Turner” starring Gloria Stuart and Lee Tracy, along with a newsreel and short subjects. It operated successfully as a neighborhood theater for about four de-

cades, typically running double features. In the mid-1970s, it operated under the name The Movies. With increasing competition from modern cinemas elsewhere in Yonkers, it eventually closed and was used for awhile as a furniture store. In 2004, a three-alarm fire broke out that extensively damaged the former theater and adjacent storefronts. In 2010, there was another fire that added to the destruction. In 2017, what remained was torn down. “The demand for quality new residential product is insatiable,” Cuddy said. “Market fundamentals are compelling. Homes with multimodal transportation options in dynamic neighborhoods continue to outperform expectations.” According to Novotny, “We are seeing strong demand for development sites that offer transit accessibility, favorable demographics and a supportive environment for new residential development. This transaction highlights the confidence that developers have in Yonkers and its transformation into a destination for residential investment.”

Silent partner in kitchen showrooms sues co-owner By Bill heltzel / bheltzel@westfairinc.com
A co-owner of upscale kitchen showrooms in Mount Kisco and Greenwich, Connecticut claims that his partner has diverted assets and formed a competing business. Mayan Metzler is demanding from $380,000 to $1.7 million in monetary damages from Ohad Berebi, in an Aug. 6 complaint filed in Westchester Supreme Court. “Despite repeated requests,” the complaint states, “Berebi has refused to provide Metzler with access to the companies’ books, records, financial statements, bank statements, tax returns, general ledger, or any other financial information.” “I strongly dispute the allegations,” Berebi stated in an email. “This is a private dispute between business partners and does not concern customers or the quality or performance of our business. I intend to address the allegations through the court process and won’t litigate the matter through the media.” Metzler and Berebi each own 50% of Westchester European Kitchens LLC and Fairfield European Kitchens LLC, according to the complaint. Metzler says he provided the network of suppliers and manufactures, “on which their business rests,” including their relationship with the luxury German brand, Leicht kitchens. Berebi has exclusive day-to-day control over both showrooms, the complaint states, including control of financial records. The businesses were formed in 2017, according to state business registrations. But for years, Metzler
the complaint states, “Berebi has diverted customers, supplier relationships and business opportunities … to the competing entity for his exclusive personal benefit.” Metzler accused Berebi of breach of fiduciary duty, usurpation of business opportunities, conversion, unjust enrichment, and breach of agreement. He is demanding a full accounting of financial records and no less than $380,000, and after a full accounting, at least $1.7 million. Berebi did not reply to a message submitted through the showroom’s website that asked for his responses to the allegations.
alleges, Berebi denied him access to the financial records, until this past December when a limited set of bank records were produced. Metzler claims that a forensic examination of the records reveals transactions from 2022 through 2024 that he had not authorized and was not aware of. Berebi allegedly used $359,330 in company funds to pay personal federal and state income taxes. He allegedly used company funds to pay for personal auto leases to BMW, Mazda and Toyota. Forty transfers totaling $552,562 went to a recipient identified as Nebellc, for no stated business purpose. Nearly $1.8 million in expenditures, the complaint states, remain unaccounted for. Metzler says Berebi formed a new business, Westchester Kitchens and Closets LLC without his knowledge or consent, using the same address and the nearly identical name as the Mount Kisco showroom. “Upon information and belief,”

AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Three-building 150-unit project proposed for Ossining By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
Ossining’s Board of Architectural Review and Planning Board is expected to take up at its Aug. 25 meeting a proposal to build a 150-unit condominium and rental housing development on properties at 34 State St. and 21 and 17 James St. in Ossining, near the Metro-North Train Station and waterfront.
There would be three multifamily residential buildings constructed and the existing Smith Robinson House on the property would be reconstructed. The site encompasses 5.9 acres. The developer is WB 34 State LLC, a related entity of WBP Development LLC, which is based in Chappaqua and was co-founded by William G. Balter and Robert H. Wilder Jr. According to Attorney Janet Giris of the White Plains-based law firm DelBello Donnellan Weingarten Wise & Wiederkehr 0LLP, the property was previously utilized by Printex Corporation for its office and manufacturing operations. Giris said that the 58,380-square-foot manufacturing building constructed
34 State St. site in Ossining
in 1930 has been demolished and the historic Smith Robinson House, constructed in the 1840s, currently is in a state of great disrepair. Giris noted that a plan for the property was approved by Ossining in 2015 for a mixed-use development consisting of a total of 189 dwelling units in three buildings and the restoration of the Smith Robinson House, which was proposed to be utilized as office space. A fully automated parking structure containing 236 parking spaces also was approved, together with several amenities including a recreation center with a swimming pool, private garden areas, an indoor exercise and fitness room, clubhouse, and media room. Westfair’s Westchester County Business Journal had previously reported that the project was going to be called Hudson Steppe. “The approvals for the 2015 Project expired in 2018, however the 2015 Project was reapproved 2019,” Giris said. “Thereafter, the Printex manufacturing building was demolished; however, construction of the 2015 Project never commenced.” Giris said that WB 34 State LLC is now the contract vendee for the property and is seeking a condition-
al use permit, site plan approval, and Board of Architectural Review approval. The development also requires the issuance of a Planned Waterfront Special Permit from the Board of Trustees for the approval of a density bonus as well as variances from the Zoning Board of Appeals. Building 1 in the new proposal would be four stories with 52 condominium units consisting of 32 one-bedroom and 20 two-bedroom condos. Building 2 also would be four stories with 48 condominium units consisting of 20 one-bedroom and 28 two-bedroom units. The condos would priced to be priced at 80% of the Westchester Area Median Income (AMI) and available to households earning up to 100% AMI. Building 3 is proposed to be six stories with 50 dwelling units consisting of 12 one-bedroom units, 35 two-bedroom units, and three three-bedroom units. They would be market-rate rental units. The Smith Robinson House would be preserved to the greatest extent possible and would serve as amenity space for the project. There also would be an outdoor pool. There would be a total of 282 parking spaces provided. A two-level
below-grade parking structure located between the buildings would have 193 spaces and 89 spaces would be at grade level. The design of the buildings and the parking structure has been prepared to take advantage of the topography, which slopes substantially downward from State Street to Hunter Street. The six-story rental building would be constructed into the slope so that only three stories are visible from State Street. The project would be all-electric and would include fixtures and appliances that use about 20% less energy and about 30% less water. “The applicant has submitted an application to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Brownfield Cleanup Program in connection with the remediation of the contamination on the property,” Giris said. The developer is proposing to improve ‘Breakneck Hill,” the current footpath from lower Jame Street to Hunter Street, which is frequently used by residents as a primary connection to downtown and key services within the village. It points out that the path currently is in very poor condition and often floods.
137-unit Hidden Cove project revived in Ossining By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
A development project known as Hidden Cove on the Hudson that had been approved by the Village of Ossining in 2018 but ran into delays getting started that included the Covid-19 shutdown is back before the village.
12
The original approvals had lapsed and new plans that have been updated to reflect changes in village regulations have been submitted. “The need for more quality housing in Ossining is even greater now than it was in 2018,” Nicholas Stolatis, managing member of the developer Plateau Associates, LLC told Ossining’s Planning Department. His brother, Peter Stolatis, also is a managing member of the LLC. “HC (Hidden Cove) has been designed to be environmentally sensitive, introducing modern storm water management infrastructure, and offering fossil fuel free operations through the installation of solar panels, geothermal heating and cooling, and convection ovens with induction stove tops. In addition, integrated air-source heat pumps in each unit give residents direct control.” The original approvals had lapsed and new plans that have been updated to reflect changes in village regulations
have been submitted. “The need for more quality housing in Ossining is even greater now than it was in 2018,” Nicholas Stolatis, managing member of the developer Plateau Associates, LLC told Ossining’s Planning Department. His brother, Peter Stolatis, also is a managing member of the LLC. “HC (Hidden Cove) has been designed to be environmentally sensitive, introducing modern storm water management infrastructure, and offering fossil fuel free operations through the installation of solar panels, geothermal heating and cooling, and convection ovens with induction stove tops. In addition, integrated air-source heat pumps in each unit give residents direct control.” Westfair’s Westchester County Business Journal reported in 2015 that the developer originally had intended to renovate the pill factory as condominium loft space but in 2008 the village issued Plateau a demolition permit for the
North Water Street property. In 2011, the developer went to the Ossining’s Planning Board with revised plans for a six-story, 137-unit apartment building on the site. In the current iteration, Plateau Associates has committed to establishing a permanent conservation easement on 25% of the property. It plans to create a pedestrian friendly access walk to the Edward M. Wheeler Crawbuckie Nature Preserve that Stolatis said would allow “visitors to Crawbuckie to do so without fear of the tractor-trailers and delivery vehicles which currently travel along the asphalt ribbon that is North Water Street.” The development would feature an enclosed indoor swimming pool and exercise facility which will be accessible year-round. “Each unit is generously proportioned to provide ample living space and comfort to the residents,” Stolatis said.
Westfair Business Journal | August 24, 2026
“In addition to the modern all-electric kitchens, many units offer outside balconies and most will enjoy a den or library space that can support those residents who have work-from-home privileges. Most units have 2 or 2.5 bathrooms, but not less than 1.5 bathrooms.” Valerie Monastra of the environmental and land use planning firm Nelson Pope Voorhis in a memo prepared for Ossining said that the project would need among other things site plan approval from the Planning Board, a Planned Waterfront Special Permit from the Planning Board and Village Board, variances from the Zoning Board of Appeals, and review by the Architectural Review Board and County Planning Board. “Hidden Cove on the Hudson will become a shining example of Ossining’s commitment to create a vibrant community that all of its citizens will be proud of,” Nicholas Stolatis said.

Travel Talk — Round Hill Hotel and Villas, Montego Bay, Jamaica By Jeremy Wayne / jwayne@westfairinc.com
To the short list of the 20th century’s ultimate parties — Truman Capote’s Black and White Ball, the Rothschilds’ Surrealist Ball and Count Volpi’s legendary Venetian palazzo balls—history must add a wild card from the Caribbean, the opening of Round Hill in 1954. Orchestrated by the charismatic John Pringle, this glamorous debut brought the global jet set to a former sugar and allspice estate in Jamaica, where Hollywood icons, East Coast “royalty” and British aristocrats toasted a new era of barefoot elegance. Noël Coward sang, Adele Astaire danced and Cole Porter tickled the ivories as Bill and Babe Paley, along with 200 others of the world’s great and possibly not-so-good, danced until dawn. It was the night that transformed a sleepy hillside near Montego Bay into one of the world’s most beautiful and enchanting resorts. Pringle, whom I learned a lot about on my first — and absolutely idyllic — visit to Round Hill Hotel and Villas earlier this year, was a visionary Jamaican entrepreneur and hotelier who more or less invented modern Caribbean luxury tourism. A man of immense charm, impeccable taste and relentless drive, he bought a 110-acre peninsula 20 minutes west of Montego Bay (quite literally a “round hill”) and pitched a revolutionary business model to his wealthy friends — buy a share, build a private cottage and let me rent it out for you when you’re gone. It was a masterstroke that, with Pringle’s blue-chip connections, transformed a quiet Jamaican hillside into one of the world’s most exclusive jet-set playgrounds. By selling those individual lots in the 1950s, and giving each buyer a 1% stake in the profits of the central hotel, Pringle raised the money needed to build the beautiful main house. Today, dues and commissions from renting those same private villas help fund the upkeep of the entire estate. Early in my stay, I was fortunate enough to join Kingsley Blake, a staff member who has been at Round Hill for 55 years and is now designated the hotel’s “ambassador,” and a handful of other guests, on his weekly tour of

family vacations since the late 1970s. (“Lovely man,” Blake told us. “Comes for Christmas, and so natural with all the guests and staff.”) Cottage 3, originally built by Noël Coward and recently much favoured by Queen Sonja of Norway, is slightly more austere than some of the others, but nevertheless another one to gawp at, if for historical reasons alone. One cottage we didn’t get to see was No. 26, originally owned by CBS titan Bill Paley and his wife, Babe. Now the private home of Ralph Lauren, it is the only one of Round Hill’s 27 cottages kept entirely for its owner and never enters the resort’s rental pool. Lest any of us should feel overawed, Blake — impeccably dressed in collar and tie and a crisp blue blazer — was quick to reassure us as he sent us on our way: “All our guests are celebrities here.” The tour, thrilling as it is, is really just a teaser, a tidbit of Round Hill’s history. This is, after all, where John and Jacqueline Kennedy spent their honeymoon in 1953, in Cottage 10, and where Princess Margaret, the feisty younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II, learned to water ski in 1959. It’s also where the Kennedys, as president-elect and soon-to-be first lady, returned for Christmas in 1960, just weeks before he took the oath of office, and where, seated poolside, JFK drafted and practised his historic inaugural address, in which he said: “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.” Round Hill Hotel and Villas entrance. Courtesy Round Hill.

some of the estate’s 27 villas. They are known, rather drily—much as the Gilded Age houses of Newport, Rhode Island, were—as “cottages,” and all but one can be rented by anyone First stop was Cottage 18, favoured by Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward and later, Pierce Brosnan. In a neat, almost poetic twist, Blake pointed out that James Bond creator Ian Fleming himself once stayed right next door in Cottage 16. Just a short stroll away was Cottage 12, Oscar Hammerstein II’s, and we all cooed with delight when we saw the exact desk where he penned those timeless lyrics for “The Sound of Music” after meeting the real-life Maria von Trapp on the property. Next up was Cottage 17, a longtime sanctuary for Paul McCartney, who has been coming to Round Hill for

Heady stuff indeed. And yet, and yet… Round Hill does not sit upon its history or its shining laurels. Respecting tradition, it is nonetheless an utterly stylish and contemporary proposition. Take the hotel itself — a jaw-droppingly lovely, symmetrical house with a perfect sightline from the entrance straight to the sea, and a long, gently snaking, low-built guesthouse known as the Pineapple House. Completely redesigned and renovated by Ralph Lauren in 2006, its 36 guest rooms are refreshingly simple — pastel candy stripes, blue-and-white porcelain lamps, white stone floors, white louvered doors, gorgeous white bathrooms. Each room has its own daybed, terrace and sea view, some of my favourite things. The food is the best you’ll eat in the Caribbean, bar none (trust me, I know), from lavish breakfasts that take full advantage of Jamaica’s fruit bounty to

sophisticated fine-dining dinners under the stars. Friday night at Round Hill means “Jamaica night,” a superb buffet and spectacular show, with fire-eaters, limbo dancers and a terrific band. Oh, and then there’s afternoon tea — included in the not inconsiderable room rates, by the way — which, with its cucumber sandwiches and scones, is something of an institution. (If I had one single niggle about Round Hill — and honestly, I did have to struggle to come up with one — it was that the clotted cream seemed to run out early. First-world problems, right?) Not that too many guests seem bothered. The repeat guest rate is 40%, and it’s not uncommon for guests to have visited 20 times or more. Yes, there is a certain clubiness about Round Hill — inevitably, as three or even four generations of families return as guests each year. But this doesn’t mean it is in any way exclusive or “cliquey.” Quite the contrary. It’s one of the most “democratic” luxury hotels I can think of. Back on the beach, one of the loveliest in the Caribbean, those chaise longues are so comfortable they could get into a contest with the most expensive handmade beds in the world — and win. The infinity pool, which sits just above the beach, is a dream,
“The infinity pool, which sits just above the beach, is a dream, the water falling away, or so it seems, into the cobalt-blue Caribbean below. The waves, protected by the reef, are gentle, little more than ripples by the time they kiss the shore.”
the water falling away, or so it seems, into the cobalt-blue Caribbean below. The waves, protected by the reef, are gentle, little more than ripples by the time they kiss the shore. As I discovered, though, even if you’re not a beach potato (although, for the record, I am), you never need get bored. Glossy travel magazines repeatedly call Round Hill one of the top 10 tennis resorts in the world. There are three clay courts and one regular court, Nicholas Almagro is the in-house tennis pro, and there are four newly renovated pickleball courts. The highly-regarded, annual tennis tournament is usually held the week before Thanksgiving. An inviting spa, which occupies its own pavilion, was redone last year, and there is a fitness center, too — of course there is—with top-tier Cybex equipment. There is a hiking trail around Round Hill and an organic garden that supplies the kitchen. Park your children in the kids’ club and spend the day on the adults-only “Moët et Chandon” beach and lawn in front of the spa. It’s not obligatory to drink Champagne here, but then again it would be almost silly not to. I merely posit. For those looking for a more serious

hike—and a unique opportunity to experience the “real” Jamaica—Managing Director Josef Forstmayr famously hosts a weekly community hike that starts at precisely 6:30 a.m. every Sunday morning. It’s a serious, athletic 8-mile hike into the Jamaican interior, with Forstmayr leading the group away from the manicured beaches and up into the steep, rugged hillsides, through dense bamboo forests and working agricultural terrain, directly through the local farming communities where many Round Hill staff members actually live. Forstmayr, who has been running the show at Round Hill since 1989, has spent more than 30 years keeping John Pringle’s old-school glamour alive while making sure the resort remains deeply connected to the local community. He’s an absolute legend in Jamaica, not just for keeping the

hotel flawless, but for championing the island’s real culture and tourism industry as a whole. And perhaps that’s the real secret of Round Hill. The elegance is still there — the cottages, the celebrities, the Champagne, the impeccable service — but it never feels embalmed in its own mythology. People come back because their parents came back, and their children now want to come back, too. Staff stay for decades. And the surrounding community is part of the story rather than merely the scenery. Round Hill has somehow managed the difficult trick of being both a relic of another, rather more dazzling age and a hotel that feels entirely alive today. For me, after just three days, it was very hard to leave. So long, farewell, Round Hill. I hope someday I’ll be back.

Maintain the flavor and freshness of this year’s harvest By Melinda MyerS
Keep homegrown vegetables and those purchased at the farmer’s market fresh and tasting their best. Selecting and harvesting vegetables at their peak and storing them properly will provide maximum flavor and nutritional value from every bite.
Cool-season root vegetables, like carrots, can be left in the ground longer in cooler climates for an even sweeter flavor. Courtesy MelindaMyers.com.
Check the garden regularly and harvest vegetables as recommended for the best flavor and nutritional value. Look for harvesting guidelines from reliable sources like your local extension service. Harvest ripe vegetables early in the morning for the best quality and when the plants are dry to avoid spreading disease. Take a basket or container large enough to accommodate the harvest to minimize stacking that can lead to bruising that shortens the storage life. Use a knife, snips or pruners for harvesting vegetables that can’t easily be removed from the plant. You’ll reduce the risk of damaging the plant during harvest. Move the harvest to a cool, shaded location or properly store to extend its shelf life. When purchasing fresh vegetables from the farmer’s market, buy what will be consumed or preserved in the next few days. Canning, freezing and dehydrating excess produce is a great way to enjoy vegetables long after the harvest season has passed. Regular harvesting keeps the plant producing. Do remove and compost those past their prime. Leaving them in the garden to rot attracts unwanted
insects and increases the risk of disease. Wait to wash vegetables until right before preparation. In the meantime, store them properly to help extend their shelf life. Onions, garlic, white and sweet potatoes and tomatoes are best stored out of the refrigerator. Onions and garlic lose their crispness. Tomatoes turn mealy and they all can develop unsavory flavor and texture when exposed to cold temperatures. Store lettuce, greens, broccoli and its relatives, root crops and similar vegetables in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator. Placing vegetables in perforated plastic bags provides cold moist conditions for the short term. Don’t use unperforated sealed bags that create too much humidity and condensation that can lead to mold and bacterial growth. Thoroughly wash and rinse vegetables under running water right before preparation to remove dirt and pesticide residue. Use a small brush for potatoes, cucumbers or other vegetables with skins that contain nutrients and fiber. If you opt to immerse the vegetables in water, use a clean bowl as your sink drain may harbor microorganisms. For longer term storage, match the
storage temperature and humidity to the vegetables. Some vegetables like lettuce, other greens, and leeks prefer 32 to 41 degrees Fahrenheit and high humidity. Others, like cucumbers, snap beans and peppers, prefer a bit warmer temperatures, 45 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit and humid conditions. Pumpkins, winter squash and potatoes prefer a bit warmer temperatures at 50 to 60 Fahrenheit degrees and lower humidity. Store dry garlic and onions at room temperature (65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit) and out of direct sunlight. Carrots, turnips and parsnips are all cool-season root vegetables that thrive in cooler soil temperatures and can be left in the garden longer for an even sweeter flavor. Spread mulch around these plantings once the soil around the plants is cool to protect the plants from temperature extremes and make winter harvesting much easier. Finish harvesting before the ground freezes and damages the roots. Enjoy the flavor and nutritional benefits fresh-from-the-garden vegetables provide. Then extend these benefits with proper handling and storage.
Caring for established trees in hot, dry weather By Melinda MyerS
Trees form the framework in our landscapes — providing shade, cleaning our air of dust and pollutants, absorbing carbon dioxide, releasing oxygen, protecting our soil and helping to manage storm water.

Once established, they are often overlooked when hot, dry weather has us dragging hoses to water flower and vegetable gardens to keep those alive. Make ongoing care of trees part of your gardening routine, especially during extremely hot, dry weather. Proper care will help keep your trees healthy and reduce the risk of insect pests and diseases that often attack droughtstressed trees for the following years. Let the weather, soil type and type of tree determine the watering schedule. High temperatures and fast draining soils dry out quickly ,and trees will need more frequent watering. Cooler temperatures and slow or poorly drained soils stay moist longer. Established trees with larger root systems and drought tolerant trees need less frequent watering than moisture lovers and new plantings. Check the soil moisture and water established trees when the top few
inches of soil are dry. Always water thoroughly, moistening the top 12 inches of soil under the canopy of deciduous trees. Do the same for evergreens, extending the area three to five feet beyond the drip-line. To do this, apply 10 gallons of water for every inch diameter of trunk measured at 4 and 1/2 feet above the soil surface. For example, a 4-inch diameter tree should receive about 40 gallons of water. Apply the water directly to the soil surface using a soaker hose. Set the soaker hose in wide circles under the tree, starting several feet away from the trunk with the loops several feet apart. Or make your own drip irrigation system with five-gallon buckets. Drill several holes in the bottom of the buckets, set around the tree, fill with water and let gravity do the rest. Spread a 2- to 3-inch layer of wood chips or other organic mulch over
the soil surface. Pull the mulch away from the trunk of the tree to prevent rotting and disease. You’ll help keep the soil and roots cool and moist, suppress weeds and improve the soil as the mulch decomposes. Create as large a mulch or planting bed around your trees as you can tolerate. You’ll help eliminate competition from the grass and damage caused by weed whips and mowers that get a little too close. You’ll also save time by eliminating the need to hand-trim around individual plants. If large beds of mulch do not fit your landscape design, create a beautiful garden in the shade of your trees. Shade tolerant ground-covers, perennials and shrubs can dress up the space with additional texture and color. Be careful when planting under mature trees. Do not cover the roots with soil as this can result in the decline and even death of your tree
Westfair Business Journal | August 24, 2026
in coming years. Avoid deep tilling that can damage the surface roots and fine feeder roots used to absorb water and nutrients. Instead, dig relatively small holes to accommodate the plant, mulch and spot-water new plantings. It may take a bit longer for them to fill in, but your tree will be healthier and longer lived. Your investment of time and care with be rewarded with years of beauty and the many benefits mature trees provide.

Art imitates (business) life in ‘Coyote vs. Acme,’ due in theaters Aug. 28 By Georgette Gouveia / ggouveia@westfairinc.com
It’s the biggest cinematic business tale of the summer: A little guy takes on a big corporation and wins.
Courtesy Ketchup Entertainment.
But that’s not just the plot. It’s also the backstory. In 2023, Warner Bros. Discovery decided to shelve its live action/animated comedy “Coyote vs. Acme” — based on its franchise Looney Tunes characters and a 1990 satirical New Yorker piece they inspired — for a $30 million tax write-off, even though the film cost a purported $70 million and had tested well with audiences. After much criticism, the company reversed course, selling the film’s rights for $50 million to Ketchup Entertainment, which seems to be aptly named for this story. On Friday, Aug. 28, “Coyote vs. Acme” will arrive in theaters with the wind of glowing reviews at its back. (To date, it has a 94% “fresh” rating on movie review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.) All of which has business
minds wondering why Warner Bros. chose to dump the movie and what the film and the it-would-make-a-goodmovie backstory say about the image of the corporate world in America today. For the uninitiated, Looney Tunes was originally a series of animated short films — along with Merrie Melodies, with which it inevitably blended — that ran from 1930 to 1969, ultimately spawning a $17.46 billion, Oscar-winning multiplatform empire. The premise of the shorts involved the mostly animal characters, usually paired with a nemesis or two, in hijinks that surreptitiously — or not so surreptitiously — commented on American culture in the years that bracketed World War II. A running gag in the cartoons featured the junky products of the Acme Corp., which particularly bedeviled Wile E. Coyote in his elusive but never-ending quest
to capture the Road Runner, a desert bird that tormented him with its fleet feet and signature “Beep, beep.” Ian Frazier, author of The New Yorker piece, reimagined this Sisyphean pursuit as a civil suit with Coyote, “hereafter known as the plaintiff,” suing Acme, “hereafter know as the defendant.” In the film, Coyote, having had enough, hires billboard lawyer Kevin Avery (Will Forte), known for getting his clients quick but not particularly big bucks, to go all in against country clubby Acme, represented by Avery’s former colleague Buddy Crane (John Cena). It’s not long before corporate conspiracies are uncovered as the entire Looney Tunes pantheon gets in on the act. At this point, it’s been lost on no one that “Coyote vs. Acme’s” David-versus-Goliath narrative is a metaphor for the plucky little film surviving not only shelving but possible deletion by
Warner Bros. Why did the film studio shelve what looked like a surefire thing — a beloved franchise testing well with today’s audiences and thus anticipating a multigenerational hit? Reporting suggests that corporate debt and high marketing costs gave Warner Bros. cold feet. But critics have also wondered if the portrayal of corporate venality hit too close to home in a country that gives business a split decision. According to a 2025 Gallop Poll, 95% of Americans have a good opinion of small businesses, while only 37% think the same of corporations. (Twisting in the knife, the film lists Warner Bros. as “a wholly owned subsidiary of Acme Corporation.”) Wile E. Coyote may never catch the Road Runner. (Where would be the fun and story in that?) But he and Looney Tunes may yet have the last laugh.
Playland moves to boost attendance as end of 98th season nears By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com
With the Sept. 13 end of Playland’s 98th season in operation rapidly approaching, the county has cut the price of admission and opened a new ride in an effort to make heading for the amusement park more attractive and more affordable.
Playland has launched an End of Summer Sale by cutting the price on all-encompassing daily wristbands from $27 for Westchester residents and $32 for nonresidents to $15 for residents and $25 for nonresidents. The wristband covers admission to the amusement park as well as the cost of going on rides. People who just want to walk around and watch are admitted free. Parking for passenger cars is $15 on weekdays and weekends and $20 on holidays. “As summer comes to a close, this special promotion makes it easier for residents and visitors alike to end the season on a high note,” County Executive Ken Jenkins said. The current season has seen the county back in charge of the park after having taken over from private operator Standard Amusements for the 2025 season that saw major attractions including the classic Dragon Coaster having to remain closed because of various issues including deterioration from

lack of proper maintenance. Only 14 of the park’s 42 rides were able to be used when the 2025 season began. The new ride that has just been put into service is known as Scorpios. It’s in the form of an open-air pirate ship that swings back and forth and can carry up to 42 passengers. The ride is
made by the German amusement ride company Metallbau Emmeln. The ship carries riders at angles as extreme as 75 degrees off horizontal. Riders must be 50-inches tall to ride alone and those between 43-inches and 49-inches must be accompanied by a supervising companion 14 years of age
Westfair Business Journal | August 24, 2026
or older. Anyone shorter than 43-inches is not allowed on the ride. “The opening of Scorpios is another exciting step in Playland Park’s continued comeback,” Jenkins said. “We’re proud to bring a new ride to one of Westchester’s most beloved destinations, giving families and visitors another reason to spend the day making memories together. Whether you’re a longtime Playland fan or visiting for the first time, we invite everyone to come experience the excitement and take a ride on Scorpios.” The county hopes to do much better for the 2026 season than in 2025 when an estimated 213,000 people came to the amusement park. Before the Covid pandemic, in 2018 when the county was operating the amusement park, Playland’s attendance was more than 460,000 visitors and the revenue was at least $8.98 million. The following year, 2019, the park did even better with just under 509,000 visitors and $10.36 million in revenue.

Big Y celebrates 90th anniversary where its story began By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com
CHICOPEE, Mass. – Big Y, the Springfield-based supermarket chain that was started by Paul and Gerald D’Amour in Chicopee in 1936, may be a Massachusetts mainstay but its recent ascent is being felt in nearby Connecticut, specifically in and around Fairfield County. Big Y on July 30 celebrated its 90th anniversary, bringing together state and local leaders, community partners, employees and customers to recognize nine decades of serving families throughout Massachusetts and Connecticut. The locations in Connecticut include Westport, Shelton, Monroe, Milford, Derby and Stratford. The event was held at Big Y’s 650 Memorial Drive location in Chicopee and honored the company’s beginnings. The program began with welcome remarks from Nicole D’Amour Schneider, senior vice president of retail operations and customer experience, followed by reflections from Executive
Chair Charlie D’Amour on the family legacy. Steven Silva, co-owner and co-president of Bernardino’s Bakery, spoke about the importance of local partnerships and the longstanding relationship between the two family-owned companies. Congressman Richard Neal recalled the Y neighborhood where Big Y’s first store opened, recognized the company’s philanthropic efforts from the Great Depression through today and praised the third and fourth generations of the D’Amour family for carrying forward the vision established by founders Paul and Gerald D’Amour. Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey shared the following statement in recognition of the anniversary celebration. “The legacy of the D’Amour brothers has been built on supporting local farmers and providing quality products,” the governor said. “It reflects the very best of what Massachusetts businesses can be: community-minded,

hardworking and committed to giving back. Big Y has long worked alongside state leaders to help shape meaningful solutions to address hunger and improve food access across the state.” During the celebration, Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll highlighted Big Y’s longstanding contributions to Massachusetts communities and the state’s economy. “For 90 years, Big Y has been a staple in Massachusetts — feeding families, supporting local farms and creating jobs. Not only do they continue to grow in Massachusetts, but they’re giving back too,” Driscoll said. “Big Y has donated millions of meals to food banks across our state, and when severe flooding devastated the region a couple of years ago, they stepped up big time for our Farm Resilience Fund to help farmers get back on their feet.” Chicopee Mayor John Vieau presented an official proclamation honoring Big Y’s 90th anniversary and its contributions to the city. “Big Y is the epitome of the entrepreneurial success story that began right here in the Willimansett section of Chicopee,” the mayor said. “While the company has grown to serve communi-

ties across Massachusetts and Connecticut, each store continues to reflect the family-owned, neighborhood spirit that has defined Big Y for 90 years. I am honored to celebrate this remarkable anniversary with the D’Amour family and to recognize the many Chicopee businesses whose locally made products are proudly featured on Big Y’s shelves.” Joining the celebration were four Chicopee-based partners that have helped shape Big Y’s local offerings over the years: Bernardino’s Bakery, Chicopee Provisions Co./Blue Seal, Millie’s Pierogi and Sweet Babu Granola. The event highlighted Big Y’s longstanding commitment to supporting local businesses and bringing locally produced products to customers throughout the region. Big Y President and CEO Michael D’Amour shared the pride he has in the family-owned supermarket. “This celebration is a tribute to our roots, our shared success and the relationships that have helped Big Y grow for nine decades,” he said. “While we are proud of our history, we’re equally excited about the future and the opportunity to serve generations to come.”
